EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

BACKGROUND

The Research Office (RO) provides an annual report to the President and other university executives to assist with their governance and oversight responsibilities.

The RO serves as a key resource to Oregon State University, providing leadership on issues concerning the research enterprise, including research development, commercial activity, research integrity and sponsored programs. The RO Work Plan 2018-2023 is provided in Attachment 1. RO statements of mission, vision and values and staffing details are provided in Attachment 2. Implementation Matrices of strategic initiatives are provided by each business unit in Attachment 3.

MAJOR AREAS OF FOCUS FOR FY18

Major areas of focus for the RO in FY18 fell into several categories:

 Business processes – The last decade has been an era of expansion for the institution, with remarkable growth of the research mission. From 2007 to 2017, research awards grew 91%, In 2017, OSU was the single largest recipient of National Science Foundation (NSF) funding, making OSU the largest research university in Oregon for the first time. As the number and size of awards grew, so did federal compliance and reporting requirements. Efforts to update business policies and practices were hampered by the dissolution of the Oregon University System (OUS) and subsequent internal restructuring. In FY16, the RO began substantial improvements in business systems, including electronic reporting, research compliance administration, and development of a RO policy manual. These efforts were informed by external reviews, including evaluations by Baker-Tilly (2014) and NCURA (2017).

 Infrastructure - Like many public research institutions, OSU researchers are advancing 21st century research agendas in early mid-century facilities. The RO is partnering with the Division of Finance and Administration to develop strategies and tools to improve the quality and availability of research space on and around the Corvallis campus. Projects designed, constructed or acquired in FY18 will yield more than 465,000 sq ft of new and renovated space.

 Strategic partnerships – In a flat funding environment, the RO is reaching out to partners in business, industry and federal agencies to grow programs, create opportunities for students, and provide stability in areas of research funding. In FY18, RO finalized formal collaborative agreements with Pacific Northwest National Labs (PNNL), Oak Ridge National Lab (ORNL), Idaho National Lab (INL), CleanTech Alliance, Department of Energy (DOE), and National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). RO is further collaborating with the OSU Foundation to staff a position to accelerate the creation of industry partnerships. Locally, the RO has partnered with the College of Engineering to join the Oregon Manufacturing and Innovation Center (OMIC), positioning OSU to engage with multiple industry partners, while keeping to our core mission.

RO Annual Report FY18

 Innovation and entrepreneurship - OSU’s Advantage Accelerator is recognized as the most mature university accelerator in Oregon. FY18 saw Advantage staff take the lead in expanding university commercialization activity statewide. Business Oregon and the remaining public institutions of higher education have become valuable partners in this initiative. In tandem, the legislative affairs committee (LAC) of each campus is working closely with the Senior Research Officer Council (SROC), chaired by VPR Sagers, to submit a $17.3MM request to the legislature in the next biennium for programmatic support. In addition, the RO partnered with the College of Engineering to join the Oregon Manufacturing and Innovation Center, positioning OSU to engage with multiple industry partners, while keeping to our core mission.

 Reputation - OSU is home to globally-ranked programs in forestry, engineering and earth sciences. OSU boasts excellent research productivity as gauged by number and quality of publications, size and continuity of research awards, and impacts through invention and commercialization. Recognition of OSU as a leading research institution reaches just beyond the Cascades, however. The RO is designing strategy to advance the national and global reputation for OSU research and has made substantial gains in recent weeks. RO’s initial attempt to garner national recognition for faculty excellences was successful when Dr. Jane Lubchenco was recognized by the National Science Foundation as its 2018 recipient of the Vannevar Bush Award.

Each of these categories is described in more detail in subsequent pages.

KEY STRATEGIC ACCOMPLISHMENTS FY18

MODERNIZING BUSINESS PROCESSES

 The RO is developing and implementing a new electronic research administration system for research integrity to streamline the process for OSU researchers. RO completed configuration of and launched the conflict of interest module in August 2017. RO teams are currently designing and implementing an Animal Welfare Model (scheduled to launch in September 2018 and Protection of Human Subjects Module (scheduled to launch in January 2019).  RO is working closely with the Office of University Compliance to update OSU-wide policies for which RO serves as the lead. In conjunction with this effort, RO has developed a policy manual which compiles RO’s policies and procedures into one location. RO will update its webpage to enable the OSU research community to access readily these policies.  Created a comprehensive RO C&I list that includes alignment of all C&I’s. The list includes: C&I designation of board oversight, Core Facilities, federally funding, budget allocation, directors supervision, direct FTE, contact information, foundation accounts, and etc. Shared with stakeholders as needed; including Provost Office.  Streamlined HR processes in partnership with multiple HR staff and C&I’s for implementation of a new salary increase and annual renewal process. Worked with VPR to update all Directors evaluations and position descriptions.  The Research Office took on oversight of OSU’s security clearance program in July of 2017. The program was inspected by Department of Defense (DOD) that month, and through the work of the Research Office, OSU received passing grades on oversight of the program. The office has expanded the staffing to include not only a lead Security Officer but also a deputy who can provide support and backup for the program. The program has expanded as additional researchers in College of Engineering explore funding from DOD. The Research Office is leading conversations on how to best manage and leverage OSU’s unique position as only one of just over 100 cleared Universities and position research faculty for additional federal funds.  In 2017, the RO appointed a Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) Coordinator and launched a NAGPRA Office. RO subsequently transitioned the NAGPRA function to OSU’s Office of Institutional Diversity.  The Research Office instituted a Research Risk Committee, which is co-chaired by the Vice President for Research and the Vice President for Finance and Administration. One of the committee’s first tasks was the development of a Large Project Policy. The Large Project Policy establishes a consistent structure for OSU’s identification and management of large projects. These large projects are agreed upon by the Vice President for Research and the Vice President for Finance and Administration, and it is recognized that these major research projects must have a more robust oversight component. This oversight also ensures that OSU has identified appropriate administrative support to ensure the projects are successfully managed.  OSU became a signatory to the SMART IRB Agreement, a national reliance agreement between over 435 universities designed to avoid duplicative institutional reviews of human subjects research projects involving collaborators across multiple universities.  OSU and OHSU signed an agreement to streamline procedures for the review of collaborative research involving human subjects, animal subjects, or biological materials.

 OSU executed an agreement with USDA/ARS to facilitate compliance for USDA researchers conducting biological research on OSU’s campus. This agreement deepens the already strong partnership between OSU and USDA/ARS.

STRENGTHENING RESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURE

 The Research Office led an expansion of approximately 27,000 square feet of space at OSU’s Advanced Technology and Manufacturing Institute (ATAMI). This buildout supports high-growth startups, the College of Engineering faculty, and creates a long-term home for the OSU Advantage Accelerator.  The Research Office supported the acquisition of the building formerly known as the “Sarepta” Building in Corvallis. This acquisition enables a more efficient renovation of Cordley Hall. During the transition period, OSU will develop a research and innovation focused biotechnology strategy similar to the Advanced Technology and Manufacturing Institute at HP’s campus. The size of the building and the functionality of the space create the potential for an innovation hub in the biological and chemical sciences - a world-class research facility that integrates industry, academia and startups.  The Marine Geology Repository (MGR) at OSU is an NSF supported curation facility for marine rock and sediment samples. Collaboration among NSF, OSU’s College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences (CEOAS) and the RO resulted in renovation of 52,000 cubic feet of cooled and chilled space for the preservation and distribution of marine geological samples for scientific research and education.

LEVERAGING PARTNERSHIPS

 OSU and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) under the joint leadership of the RO and the Graduate School entered into an MOU to establish a PNNL-OSU Distinguished Graduate Research Program. The program will engage five students per year in a joint program in which OSU and PNNL share the responsibilities and costs of training.  OSU is a member of Idaho National Lab’s National University Consortium. OSU and the RO are currently represented on the consortium by Dr. Wade Marcum, School of Nuclear Science and Engineering. Engagement by the RO the school in INL operations led INL in 2017 to designate OSU a “Strategic Partner.” Efforts to establish joint faculty and graduate students programs with INL are underway.  Under the leadership of the RO, OSU joined the Oak Ridge Association of Universities, a consortium of more than 100 research institutions dedicated to strengthening the nation’s science education and research agenda. Membership allows access to ORNL expertise and facilities, and ensures a voice in determining future research investments.  Representatives from National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Association (NOAA), US Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA), US Fish & Wildlife Service (USFW), and Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) met with OSU researchers to discuss renewing historical research strengths in aquaculture and fisheries. A two-day workshop led by HMSC staff was funded by industry, including Pacific Seafood, and will generate a design and business plan for the center.

 OSU has established close ties with the Department of Energy through the joint effort to establish a wave energy testbed off the Oregon coast. The project, resident in CEOAS and led by Dr. Burke Hales, will be the United States’ premier wave energy test facility and is the largest project yet to be funded by the DOE Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy.  VPR Sagers was elected chair of the Senior Research Officers Council (SROC), the collective of chief research officers of Oregon’s seven public universities, and appointed to the board of Business Oregon to represent the four major research institutions in the state.

ADVANCING INNOVATION AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP, COMMERCIAL ACTIVITIES

 Pursue non-traditional sources of research funding (industry, business, foundation) to support mission-critical research  Simplify the process of setting fees and collecting revenue for service  Improve efficiency and transparency of business operations and generate and atmosphere of client service through the Research Office  Renovate, rent or build quality research space for OSU scientists and engineers  Align research priorities and innovation programs of OSU with state development agencies to translate research outcomes into economic development  Grow the culture of research and innovation within OSU  Systematically promote researchers for awards and national recognition

ENGINEERING A GLOBAL REPUTATION FOR RESEARCH

 The Research Office worked collaboratively with representatives from Human Resources, Business Operations, OSRAA, and Information Services to deliver our first set of data to the IRIS Consortium. We cleared a significant hurdle when we received approval from HR, Business Operations, and the Data Security teams to transmit the data IRIS requested. IRIS has supplied the first of three expected reports based on OSUs data submission, the Spending report, and our initial validation efforts indicated that we captured approximately 90% of vendor and subaward spending. Data delivered in the spending report includes the breakdown of spending by U.S. county and congressional districts, the number and type of employees supported by research, the type of employees supported by funding agency, and comparators with other IRIS member institutions. Further analysis OSUs data submission indicates we will be able to improve significantly the accuracy of our next submission in November 2018. We expect that the full set of reporting will help us transform the way we talk about the impact of research spending at OSU.  The National Science Board awarded Jane Lubchenco, distinguished university professor and marine studies advisory to the president of OSU, its 2018 Vannevar Bush Award. The RO advanced Jane’s candidacy in its efforts to acknowledge faculty excellence and advance OSU’s reputation for research.  OSU and the RO joined the Clean Tech Alliance, a trade group based in Seattle, WA. CleanTech interests align with OSU’s energy research portfolio and provides networking opportunities to OSU faculty and staff. At the RO’s suggestion, CleanTech Alliance hosted Belinda Batten at its

Carolyn Aldwin, Jo Anne Leonard Endowed Director

Highlights 2017-2018

Grant Activities

 Received funding from the Large Program Development Program from the Research Office for a study entitled: “The Long-Term Effects of Military Service.” Deans from CPHHS and COS also provided support. We have a team of nine faculty working on this project, as well as various post-docs and both graduate and undergraduate students. The questionnaire has been developed and approved by IRB, and we are now in the field collecting data. This pilot data will provide the basis for either a large R01 or a P01 to be drafted next year.

 Submitted a K07 Career Development Award grant proposal to NIA entitled “Stress, Resilience, and Healthy Aging in Military Veterans.” The purpose of this proposal is to develop a new infrastructure to support research, teaching, and mentorship for faculty and students interested stress and coping processes in late life, and in older military veterans in particular. This received a good score (27), but is probably outside of the fundable range We are in the process of preparing the revision to be submitted in July, 2017. Two additional CHAR faculty are participating in this, in addition to the nine faculty from the first bullet.

 Submitted an R01 to NIA entitled “Regulation Processes and Optimal Aging.” Scored but unlikely to be funded. We are in the process of revising this for a July submission, and have added another CHAR faculty from to this project.

Student Research Support

 CHAR supports undergraduate students from CHAR faculty with $1,000 match for summer research. Five students from last summer presented their research at a CPHHS research colloquium winter quarter. Held a competition and funded four more students for 2018 summer research.

Faculty Research Support

 CHAR manages the LIFE Registry, which is pool of about 800 Oregonians aged 50+, who are willing to participate in research projects. Six research projects utilized this service this year.  CHAR director is beginning negotiations with OHSU to access their population pools to increase the diversity of the LIFE Registry.  CHAR director participated in the Oregon Partner for Alzheimer’s Research (OPAR) committee, which determines who will receive pilot grant funding from the Oregon Tax Checkoff for Alzheimer’s Research, run by the OHSU Layton Aging & Alzheimer's Disease Center. Successfully argued for funding for a pilot project in CPHHS entitled, “Racial, Ethnic, and Sexual Gender Minority Caregivers’ Views of Alzheimer’s Disease and Long-Term Services and Supports” (Dr. Carolyn Mendez-Luck, PI).  CHAR director and faculty are also collaborating with Dr. Elizabeth Eckstrom of Oregon Center for Translational Research Institute (OCTRI) at OHSU to address an immanent change at NIA,

24

RO Annual Report FY18

which will be requiring either lifespan samples or, if older adults only, significantly older age ranges (e.g., 80+), as well as a greater focus on rural and minority samples in all grant proposals submitted.  Conducted retreat for faculty beginning Spring Quarter to update everyone on CHAR activities, to have both new faculty and faculty with new projects present their research, and to discuss possible collaboration opportunities.  CHAR faculty, students, and post-docs participated in a previously-funded R24 project, which produced a 2018 book entitled, Long-term effects of military service: The health and well-being of aging veterans. American Psychological association, A. Spiro, R. A. Settersten, & C. M. Aldwin, editors.

Engagement and Outreach

 Visited with Mrs. Judy Winkler and secured donation to help support LIFE Scholars and CHAR operations.  CHAR organized a “Healthy Living Institute” with the Foundation for the Multnomah Athletic Club, which was very well received. We are exploring the possibility of long-term collaboration.  Five CHAR faculty (including the director) participated in the OSU Gerontology Conference in April.  Wrote summer and winter newsletters for distribution to CHAR faculty, supporters, and the LIFE Registry.

Center for Genomics Research and Biocomputing (CGRB), Brett Tyler, Director Brag sheet 2018

The mission of the CGRB is to increase the competitiveness of genome- and data-driven life and environmental sciences research at OSU though leadership, services and training. Leadership One of the most important roles of the CGRB has been to coordinate and coalesce campus-wide research and education efforts in the areas of genomics, bioinformatics and biocomputing. Increasingly, this role has expanded more generally into the areas of high performance research computing, data science, and workforce training. In addition to promoting campus-wide collaboration, it has also expanded to leading regional collaboration efforts. Some specific efforts planned for the upcoming year in this area are outlined below and in the following sections. • Stimulate and support the efforts of Denise Hynes and Melissa Haendel to build research, services and training programs in health-related data sciences Research partnerships My efforts over the last 6-7 years to grow the capabilities of the CGRB, and of the OSU faculty generally, in the areas of bioinformatics and data science, have now laid a strong foundation for pursuing large scale research collaboration and funding opportunities. I will be pursuing these in several areas: • Large research center grants. There are numerous opportunities in this area. The most immediate is to support a proposal from Richard van Breeman in the LPI to NIH’s Biomedical Technology Research Resource (P41) program, entitled “National Resource for Affinity Selection-Mass Spectrometry”. The budget would be $800,000 direct costs per year for 5-years, renewable for another 5 years. There are also likely to be funding opportunities emerging from the conference on “The Cooperative Extension System and Data Science: A Strategy for Boosting Rural Economic Prosperity” and, more broadly, from new investments from USDA in Agricultural Big Data; efforts in these areas will likely benefit from partnerships with EECS, Statistics and Mathematics. Additional opportunities at NIH should also emerge through the efforts of Denise Hynes and Melissa Haendel.

• Collaboration with industry. There continues to be excellent potential to grow our research partnerships with industry. These include continuing to expand our collaborations with IBM (especially), Amazon and Nimbix, as well as adding new relationships with companies such as Google and Microsoft. There may also be potential to provide computing, analytics and health data services to small Oregon businesses (early conversations are underway with several). • Collaboration with regional universities. We already have multiple collaborations with UO, OHSU, PSU, and WOU in the areas of research, education and workforce training. There are excellent opportunities to add new collaborations in this area, for example in precision medicine and environmental informatics. • Collaboration with government agencies. We already serve clients in USDA-ARS, USFS, USGS, EPA, NOAA and ODFW, especially in the areas of genomics and bioinformatics. There will be many

26

RO Annual Report FY18 opportunities to continue to expand these partnerships, for example with the Veterans Administration, through Denise Hynes’ joint appointment with the Portland VA. A recent new collaboration with the Boise VA is also starting up. Data science education and workforce training Big data is rapidly transforming not just research but all aspects of society, creating a burgeoning knowledge economy in numerous domains. Nationally, the number of available job openings in this area is doubling every year. This trend demands that we act energetically to infuse our curricula with data science, and collaborate across the whole pipeline of data science workforce training from schools to employers. This will be an active focus area for the CGRB over the next year or more, both on campus and through regional partnerships. It is strongly aligned with OSU’s missions as a land grant university, and especially its goals in outreach and engagement, student success, and equity, inclusion and diversity. Some specific activities will be: • Continue to direct and support the Graduate Minor in Biological Data Sciences • Continue to assist with the undergraduate major in Bioinformatics and Data Sciences • Continue to assist with the re-invigoration of the Ph.D. program in Molecular and Cellular Biology as a more data-centric program. • Continue to expand CGRB’s bioinformatics and data science training activities into online formats to promote accessibility to all learners, and to meet the re-training needs of industry and education professionals. • Continue to build the network of universities, community colleges, and school districts that comprise the Oregon Big Data Learning Community (OBDLC). • Continue to seek funding for the activities of the OBDLC from agencies, foundations, and philanthropy. Specifically, this will include seeking funds for a component of OBDLC entitled “Increasing Equity in the Computer Science Career Path for Oregon Students”. Research Services and Infrastructure The critical added value we provide to our clients on and off the campus in the services that we provide is that we are aggressive about staying on the cutting edge, reducing costs, and customizing our services. In the upcoming year, a couple of areas of focus will be lowering the cost of genomics services through automation, partnering with the biomolecular mass spectrometry center to meet their bioinformatics needs in the area of metabolomics, and increasing the capabilities of our computing services through partnerships with industries such as IBM, and cloud providers such as Amazon and Nimbix. Administration A major goal for the upcoming year will be to complete the re-alignment of our budget so that we have the resources to sustain existing services and training programs that are most valued by our research community, and to continue the innovation efforts required to bring the most cutting edge capabilities to our community. A particular focus will be to move our training programs further towards cost sustainability. A second major administrative goal will be to prepare for and successfully complete a five year of the Center in spring 2019.

OSU Center for the Humanities Year-End Report

July 2018

______

We have had an excellent AY 2017-2018 year at the Center for supporting fellows and faculty. We have brought more students and members of the community into the Center as part of our public programs and co-sponsored programs. We hosted several dozen scholarly talks and participated in nearly one hundred campus and Oregon-wide events. In May 2018, our efforts culminated as the Center hosted, organized, or sponsored ten events, which ranged from fellows’ talks to graduate research presentations to community events to hosting the Provost’s Office celebrations of OSU writers and editors.

Building on some of the ideas developed in the external reviews of the Center (the last one was completed in May 2016) and based on the vision statement laid out as part of the director search in late 2016, in 2017-18 the CftH began a number of new programs and partnerships, such as with the Provost’s Office (for support of dynamic new interdisciplinary research clusters and book manuscript workshops, among many other programs), along with an array of new fundraising, outreach, and engagement activities. Our new fundraising efforts resulted in a 50% increase in internal funding (via the PO) and the best external development year on recent record (in 15 years), though overall

I continue to meet and talk with directors and leadership at other comparable and aspirational Humanities Institutes and Centers (such as University of Oregon, Stanford, Rochester, Iowa, Illinois, UPUI, etc.) to get a better sense of their operations and new ideas or approaches. In summer 2018 I will have a series of meetings and will visit several more such centers to continue gathering knowledge about best practices.

What follows are select AY 2017-2018 CFTH accomplishments.

Personnel

 Christopher Nichols, Director of the CFTH (as of January 1, 2017)  Joy Jensen, Research Program Coordinator (promoted as of January 1, 2017)  New part-time hire: Colleen Johnson, new Graduate Research Assistant (at .49FTE), former OSU engineering graduate now in the MFA program, beginning Sept. 1, 2018 (Note: we have not hired new fulltime staff as part of strategy conserve funds to support new programs)

Program Partnerships

 Partnership with the Provost’s Office for a three-year pilot program for faculty excellence ($30k per year for three years, 2017-18, 2018-19, 2019-20). To be assessed via outcomes annually.  Continue to host a table at the State of the University event in Portland (February 2018). Last year invited Executive Directors of several major OR nonprofits to join us (OPB, OHS, OR Hum), this year we invited great OSU faculty humanists and brought numerous books

28

RO Annual Report FY18

and articles by OSU humanities faculty (CftH fellows) for a great booth and banner to raise visibility about the Center  Year Two working with the Provost’s Office, the Center hosted two “Celebrating OSU Authors and Editors Events” in May 2019 (the plan is to continue and enhance this collaboration)  Worked with Oregon Public Broadcasting, Think Out Loud with Dave Miller, June 12, 2018, live hour-long taping of “community town hall” event in Portland, Elephant’s Restaurant, on Multigenerational Perspectives on Citizen Activism, co-sponsored with Senior Advocates for Generational Equity. (Roughly 50,000 listeners on June 13, 2018 broadcast)  Working with the Oregon Historical Society and Literary Arts (among others) about possible future collaborations and new public humanities activities in Corvallis, Portland, and across the state.

Washington Post

 Successful partnership began June 26 2017, with the OSU Center for the Humanities as a lead sponsor of “Made by History,” a new informed content section of the Washington Post online. The Center logo is prominently displayed on the side bar of every piece in the section (see MbH “about” page): https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/made-by- history/wp/2017/06/26/welcome-to-made-by-history/?utm_term=.82921ab725f3)  June 26, 2017- June 26, 2018: there have been over 6 million unique visitors to MbH pages.  This sponsorship opens a direct path for Center Fellows -- and other OSU faculty -- to pitch their work for WaPo publication, with exclusive access to the main editors to assist them in placing their work. Five OSU faculty have already published in the series (as many as from any university in the nation) and several more are in the works.

Postdoctoral Fellowship

 Partnered with the OSU School of Writing, Literature, and Film to search for and hire a postdoctoral fellow in film studies—who was housed at the Center for the Humanities in 2017-18. The position entailed modest teaching along with research support and an office at the Center. Dr. Tamas Nagypal was the first film studies postdoctoral humanities fellow and his time at OSU was a major success (in teaching, completing scholarship, and enhancing a growing area at OSU).  The hope is to add a “diversity” postdoctoral fellowship in 2019, or after CftH renovations (to be determined). That idea has been pitched to several units in CLA and to the Provost’s Office.

International Institute Collaboration

 Partnered with German Institute at Hamburg University to support a joint OSU Center Fellowship for Philosophy Assistant Professor Barbara Muraca in 2017-18 (in residence at OSU year-round, in Hamburg winter term 2017-18)

OSU and NOAA’s Cooperative Institute for Marine Resources Studies (CIMRS)

– a one page overview of a 37 year collaboration

Michael A. Banks, Director 2006 - current

CIMRS’s main mission is to bring together, inspire and enable research partners from Oregon State University’s full variety of Research Units, Colleges and Departments to assist their NOAA colleagues in sustainable study, use, and conservation of everything marine. We have a tremendous opportunity as a consequence of where we are poised at the center of complex biological and physical factors exercising their forces in and upon the Pacific Northwest, and thrive because of sustained vision and commitment of leadership at NOAA, OSU. Our collaborations involve several hundred investigators from diverse backgrounds including the fishery, tribes, general public, high school, undergrad, graduate and post-doctoral students, university researchers, faculty, state and federal scientists. We are well renowned globally because of key discoveries in volcanology, acoustics and fishery science publicized in high profile journals including Science and Nature.

Increasing synergies realized over the past few years include:

1) a marked expansion in distribution of research findings - 67 publications featured in our most recent annual report, from a team of ~20, 2) noted research impacts - such as: Our founding development of sub-marine technologies in acoustic electronics and software to monitor sound, now used globally in marine security, agency and commercial operations. Or our long-term monitoring of regional weather and climate effects on ocean productivity, now used as key information for hydropower, fishery, and coastal economic predictions, along with critical human health warnings attained from our research and monitoring of harmful algal blooms, 3) consistent competitiveness - indicated by increasing NOAA grant funding leveraged with matched support from external partners (NSF, ONR, and others), totaling ~$9 million for FY18, 4) diversification of faculty and students we matriculate and their active recruitment to advanced professional working contexts in industry, and at leading universities and NOAA labs both nationally and globally - we released new fellowships in FY18 in association with the OSU Marine Studies Initiative to further advance this success, 5) activity in the human dimension and social science arena – such as a seven Principal Investigator project valuing ecosystem services from natural infrastructure (sea-level rise), and related project advancing the analysis of Pacific Basin coastal flood sensitivity under a changing climate, 6) outreach principally through websites offering real-time access to undersea research using remotely operated underwater vehicles, research blogs, NOAA webpages, and interactive displays at the HMSC visitors center, and our

Electron Micro Facility (EMF), Peter Eschback, Director FY18 Brag Sheet

 The electron microscope facility was a presenter at the Saturday Academy Midsummer conference at OSU. The facility hosted some 60 high school students that had interests in electron microscopy. Groups of 15 students rotated through the facility every hour where they were treated to three hands on sessions on three different electron microscopes. Station one involved biological materials such as aphids, beetles, stink bugs, and spores with Teresa Sawyer, station two featured Pete Eschbach examining semiconductors in the electron microscope, and station three examining electron tomography was hosted by former Intel electron microscope director Barb Miner. Here are some of the student comments: “fantastic, “ and “Loved the hands on workshop.”

 We set a revenue record for the fourth quarter in our facility. This offset a slow start to the fiscal year and allowed us to finish up again with carryover in our index. Big shout out to all of our industrial partners for their continued use of the facility.

Laboratory Animal Resource Center, Helen Diggs, Director 2018 Brag Sheet

The Laboratory Animal Resources Center (LARC) functions as a service center for campus faculty who use animals as an adjunct to their biomedical research endeavors in LARC-managed facilities.

The goal of the Center is to ensure quality husbandry and veterinary oversight for animals used for biomedical research. This is accomplished through the provision of humane and responsible animal care and support, training, education, partnerships and collaborations and by maintaining a collegial, respectful work environment.

For fiscal year 2018, LARC continued to provide excellent care for all vertebrate animals used or held in LARC-managed animal facilities. LARC staff and veterinarians assisted faculty in their efforts toward meritorious research by serving as a resource on all matters relating to protocol design and implementation and animal model selection and appropriate use.

Regulatory and Accreditation Status • Continued full AAALAC International accreditation granted March 19, 2018. • No non-compliances cited by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) for LARC managed animal facilities. • Continued full compliance with the U.S. Public Health Service (PHS) Policy on Humane Care and Use of Laboratory Animals. • Policies and procedures adhered firmly to the recommendations of the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals (NRC 2011).

Budget: The Center remained fully staffed with respect to the animal census and service expectations. The Center employs four veterinarians (for 2.6 FTE), seven animal technicians and one Executive Support Specialist.

Pacific Marine Energy Center Activities / Accomplishments FY2018, Mick Haller, interim Director

• Rebranding effort – What was formerly the Northwest National Marine Energy Center went through a major rebranding effort during 2017-2018. Through a multi-institutional effort between the three partner institutions (OSU, UW, and UAF) that included outreach to our faculty members, to federal agencies, and to industry stakeholders, NNMREC was rebranded as the Pacific Marine Energy Center. Simultaneously, the project to develop the south Newport wave energy testing facility (formerly PMEC-SETS) also was rebranded as PacWave. PacWave also hired a new Director and transitioned their OSU organizational home. The rebranding of PMEC and PacWave has been well received and we believe has clarified our identity both within and without of OSU.

• Professor Merrick Haller assumed the duties of PMEC Director at OSU. After a transitional period from longtime Director Belinda Batten and a brief appointment of Pedro Lomonaco, Merrick became Interim Director on Nov. 8, 2018. Merrick is one of the original group of PIs that created NNMREC in 2008 and he agreed to serve as Interim Director until an external search for a permanent Director could be successfully completed.

• The external search for a permanent PMEC Director was completed! Bryson Robertson (PhD) is the Program Manager for the West Coast Wave Initiative and an Adjunct Professor at the University of Victoria. He will take over as Director of PMEC on October 15th, 2018. Dr. Robertson will also hold an Associate Professor appointment in the School of Civil & Construction Engineering.

• PMEC was awarded $2,000,000 of new federal (DOE) funding for the ALFA-Lab Collaboration Project. The ALFALCP will run July 1, 2018 to June 30, 2021 and is a collaboration with three DOE National Laboratories that will accelerate the development of next-generation marine energy conversion systems. This along with the $35 million of new funding allocated to the PacWave project signifies the importance that DOE places on OSU marine energy capabilities.

• Outreach activities, mainly in support of OSU150 (and spearheaded by Brenda Langley) include: o OSU150 Portland Reception, 2/12/2018; Ocean Sciences Meeting, 2/13-2/16/2018; OSU150 Kickoff Event, 2/12/2018; Tabling at Hinsdale Wave Research Lab during tours, 2/15/2018; Tabling at Hatfield Marine Science Center, 2/17/2018; Tabling at LaSells / Jane Lubchenco & Saving Atlantis pre-view, 2/20/2018; Tabling at Hinsdale, 2/23/2018; Youth Science Camp at HMSC – July 2018; daVinci Days 2018, 7/20/2018

• PMEC All-Center Meeting Planning – we are in the midst of planning for the Annual PMEC All-Center Meeting. As usual, this meeting will be held immediately before the Ocean Renewable Energy Conference (OREC; https://pacificoceanenergy.org/orec2018/) on Monday September 17th. It will be

2017–18 Select Achievements

Providing Collaborative STEM Opportunities Students engaged in immersive research develop interest and competence in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM), but few such opportunities exist along the Oregon coast. Oregon Sea Grant-funded researchers worked with students at a coastal high school to manufacture enhanced sensors usable by fishermen to measure water temperature, depth, and salinity. In addition to supporting STEM experiences for students, this collaborative effort enhanced existing relationships between researchers and fishermen. bit.ly/2Fiu8Qw Supporting Local Economies Since 1965, the Oregon Sea Grant-operated Visitor Center at Hatfield Marine Science Center has been teaching children and adults about marine science through fun, hands-on exhibits. In 2017, Oregon Sea Grant contracted with an Oregon State University Extension economist to study the Visitor Center’s economic impacts. The study determined that the Visitor Center annually supports $5.4 million in income, $9.7 million in sales, and 133 jobs for local residents—impacts that are more than 10 times the Center’s operating costs. bit.ly/2JxZBnW Protecting Coastal Residents Scientists say there’s a 30 percent chance of a massive earthquake and tsunami striking the Pacific Northwest in the next 50 years. Oregon Sea Grant organized workshops bringing educators, state parks personnel, researchers, and emergency management experts together to discuss how to help communities prepare for a tsunami by creating Tsunami Quests—fun, clue-directed hunts that teach people how to respond to an earthquake or tsunami while walking an evacuation route. Watch a video about the project: bit.ly/2JMEzOx Reducing Pollution and Waste Pollution prevention helps reduce, eliminate, or prevent pollution at its source, also known as source reduction. In its pilot year, the Oregon Applied Sustainability Experience enabled five Oregon Sea Grant students to gain industry experience in pollution prevention practices and yielded measurable impacts for host businesses. If the interns’ recommendations are implemented, host businesses could reduce water use by 60 million gallons, eliminate 8.5 tons of solid or hazardous materials, and save more than $900,000 a year. bit.ly/2Grktfg Establishing a Microplastics Baseline Microplastics are contaminants of emerging concern, partly due to the toxicity of plastics, and also because other organic contaminants attach themselves to these materials. Oregon Sea Grant-supported researchers measured microplastic concentrations in the tissues of commercially valuable Pacific oysters and razor clams to establish the state’s first baseline. Preliminary results indicate that every oyster site sampled contained organisms with microplastics. Public education aimed to reduce source pollution is underway. Video: bit.ly/2lc0wfr

Training 21st century multidisciplinary scientists The SPR Center has a record of accomplishment in recruiting and training the next generation of trans-disciplinary scientists to address critical, complex problems of hazard assessment, environmental monitoring, and human health risk assessment for chemical mixtures and other contaminants, and to prepare them for future independent careers. This is accomplished by providing diverse training activities customized to the needs of individual trainees, which include, but are not limited to: didactic coursework, challenging SRP-related interdisciplinary laboratory research (thesis) projects, seminars, webinars, customized experiential learning activities, and a large menu of professional development learning modules. The SRP Center continues to actively recruit a diverse cadre of new trainees and matriculate all Trainees through the Training Core program. Since the inception of our Center. We have trained several postdoctoral scientists and have successfully trained over 20 PhDs that now work in the commercial, non-governmental organizations, governmental and academic sectors. The research projects also provides training opportunities for dozens of undergraduate student researchers enriching their OSU experience. Productivity and Impact A major goal our program is to engage with and support various stakeholders from state and federal governmental agencies, community members, and Tribal Nations. In many cases, these partners are co-authors on peer reviewed manuscripts. Over the past 10 years, our Center has published NNNN manuscripts, and the majority of these are collaborative efforts between two or more Center members.
